A T-bill quote sheet has 90-day T-bill quotes with a 5.77 ask and a 5.71 bid. If the bill has a $10,000 face value, an investor could sell this bill for _____.
a. $9,857.25
b. $9,855.75
c. $9,859.21
d. $10,000
Answer:
a. $9,857.25
Explanation:
Price = Face value * (1 - Bid*Days/360)
Price = $10,000 * (1 - 5.71%*90/360)
Price = $10,000 * (1 - 5.71%*0.25)
Price = $10,000 * (1 - 0.014275)
Price = $10,000 * 0.985725
Price = $9,857.25

Mrs. Sarr operates a business in a competitive market. The current market price is $8.10. At her profit-maximizing level of production, the average variable cost is $8.00, and the average total cost is $8.25. Mrs. Sarr should shut down her business in the short run but continue to operate in the long run.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
Given that
Current market price = $8.10
Average variable cost = $8
And, the average total cost = $8.25
As we can see that the current market price is more than the average variable cost so it would be operate in the short run
Also the total cost is more than the current market price so it would be shut down in the long run

Street Runner Engine Shop uses a job order cost system to determine the cost of performing engine repair work. Estimated costs and expenses for the coming period are as follows:
Engine parts $740,000
Shop direct labor 500,000
Shop and repair equipment depreciation 40,000
Shop supervisor salaries 133,000
Shop property taxes 22,000
Shop supplies 10,000
Advertising expense 20,000
Administrative office salaries 71,400
Administrative office depreciation expense 6,000
Total costs and expenses $1,542,400
The average shop direct labor rate is $20 per hour.
Determine the predetermined shop overhead rate per direct labor hour.
Answer:
$8.20/Direct Labor hours
Explanation:
Cost of performing engine repair work = Shop and repair equipment depreciation + Shop supervisor salaries + Shop property taxes + Shop supplies
Cost of performing engine repair work = $40,000 + $133,000 + $22,000 + $10,000
Cost of performing engine repair work = $205,000
Direct Labor Hours = Direct Labor/Direct Labor rate
Direct Labor Hours = 500,000/$20 per hour
Direct Labor Hours = 25,000 hours
Predetermined shop overhead rate per direct labor hour = $205,000 / 25,000 Hours = $8.20/Direct Labor hours

You would like to lock in the selling price on 50,000 bushels of wheat, which you plan to harvest and deliver to the market in September. The September futures price quote is currently 899?4. If you write September futures contracts on your wheat, you will be guaranteed a total price of ________ for your crop. Each contract is quoted in cents and 1/8ths of a cent per bushel with a contract size of 5,000 bushels.
a. $45.637.50.
b. 50 $541650.00.
c. $449750.00.
d. $297700.50.
e. $2.971.000.
Answer:
c. $449750.00.
Explanation:
1/8 of 10 lots of bushels of 5,000 per lot = 1.25
Therefore, the price quote of 899'4 cents is written as 899'4+1.25 = $8.995
Total value = Wheat(bushels) * Price Quote
Total value = 50,000 * $8.995
Total value = $449,750
Grimaldi Chocolates projects its factory rent to be $8,000 in July when 4,000 pounds of candy are expected to be produced. If rent is a fixed cost, and if production is expected to increase to 6,000 units in August, what is the expected cost of rent in August
Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, the expected cost of rent in August is $8,000. This is because the $8,000 is fixed in total.
We know that fixed costs are those costs that do not vary with the level of output. Invariably, it means they remained the same as activity level or output changes.
Although, production increases to 6,000 units in August from 4,000 candy pounds of candy that are expected to be produced in March, yet, the fixed cost of $8,000 would remain the same whether or not production increases or decreases.
On January 1, 2013, Springs Industries issued $18,000,000 of 10% ten-year bonds at 102. The bonds are callable at the option of Springs at 104. Springs pays interest annually and has recorded amortization of the bond premium on the straight-line method (which was not materially different from the effective-interest method). On December 31, 2019, Springs called in $6,000,000 of the bonds. Ignoring income taxes, Springs should report a gain or loss of:_________
Answer:
Springs should report a loss of $204,000
Explanation:
To be redeemed Premium on bonds payable = 6,000,000 * 2% = $120,000
The amortization of bond premium (annual) = 120,000/10 = $12,000
Bonds premium amortized in 7 years (From 2013 to 2019) = 12,000 * 7 = $84,000
Unamortized bond premium = 120,000 - 84,000 = $36,000
Carrying value of bonds = Face value of the bonds + un-amortized bond premium at the redemption date = 6,000,000 + 36,000 = $6,036,000
Redemption price of bonds = 6,000,000 * 104% = $6,240,000
Loss on bonds redemption = Redemption price - Carrying value of bonds = 6,240,000 - 6,036,000 = $204,000. So, Springs should report a loss of $204,000.

Answer:
This question is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:
a) product innovation
b) product standarization
c) product variation
d) product adaptation
And the correct answer is the option D: Product adaptation.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of "Product Adaptation" in the field of marketing and management is known to refer as the method that is necessary to use in order to adapt a company's strategy to a target audience that tends to be quite different that the usual audience. So in this case the most important thing to have in mind when applying a strategy like this is that the focus will be in the huge difference that the consumers have according to the regular ones, so when the managers see the difference they will be able to focus on a better product to give the consumers.
Assume Italy and Chad can both produce grain and dates, and that the only limited resource is the farming labor force, meaning that land, water, and all other resources are plentiful in both countries. Each farmer in Italy can produce 10 t of grain or 5 t of dates in a season. Each farmer in Chad can also produce 10 t of grain or 25 t of dates.
1. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing dates?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
2. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing grain?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
3. Which country has the competitive advantage in producing dates?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
4. Which country has the comparative advantage in producing grain?
A. Italy.
B. Chad.
C. Neither.
Answer:
chad
neither
chad
Italy
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
The opportunity cost of Italy in producing one unit of grain = 5/10 = 0.5t dates
The opportunity cost of Italy in producing one unit of dates = 10/5 = 2grains
The opportunity cost of Chad in producing one unit of grain = 25/10 = 2.5 dates
The opportunity cost of Chad in producing one unit of dates = 10/25 = 0.4 grains
Italy has a comparative advantage in the production of grains while Chad has a comparative advantage in the production of dates
A country has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries. Chad produces 25t of dates while Italy produces 5t of dates, this shows that Chad has an absolute advantage in the production of dates. Both Italy and Chad produces the same quantity of grains so neither have an absolute advantage in the production of grains.
On April 1, Cyclone Co. purchases a trencher for $280,000. The machine is expected to last five years and have a salvage value of $40,000. Exercise 8-12 Double-declining-balance, partial-year depreciation LO C2 Compute depreciation expense at December 31 for both the first year and second year assuming the company uses the double-declining-balance method. (Enter all amounts as positive values.)
Answer:
Year 1 = $84,000Year 2 = $78,400Explanation:
Double declining means that the asset is depreciating at double the rate that it would with straight method:
Straight line depreciation = 280,000 / 5 years
= $56,000
Rate = 56,000 / 280,000 = 20%
Double declining will be:
= 20 * 2 = 40%
Year 1 Depreciation:
= 40% * 280,000 * 9/12 months
= $84,000
Year 2 Deprecation:
= 40% * Net book value
= 40% * (280,000 - 84,000)
= $78,400

You are analyzing a large stable company. For the year ending 12/31/2015 the company reported earnings of $58,900 and book value at the end of 2015 was $371,700. You expect earnings to grow at 5% a year in perpetuity, and the dividend payout ratio of 70% to continue. The company borrows at 8%, and has a cost of equity of 12%. The company has 25,000 shares outstanding. What is your estimate of price per share using the dividend discount model at 12/31/2015
Answer:
$24.74
Explanation:
Total earnings for the year ending 12/31/2015= $58,900
dividend payout ratio=70%
current year total dividends= $58,900*70%
current year total dividends=$41,230.00
current dividend per share=current year total dividends/shares outstanding
current dividend per share=$41,230.00/25,000
current dividend per share=$1.6492
expected dividend=current dividend per share*(1+growth rate)
growth rate of dividends forever=5%
expected dividend=$1.6492*(1+5%)
expected dividend=$1.73166
share price=expected dividend/(cost of equity-growth rate)
cost of equity=12%
share price=$1.73166/(12%-5%)
share price=$24.74

Steelcase has received orders of 2400, 2200, 2700, and 2500 units of a special-purpose panel for each of the next four months. SC can meet these demands by producing the panel, by drawing from its inventory, or by using any combination of the two alternatives. The production costs during each of the next four months are projected to be $74, $75, $76, and $76.5 per unit. Because costs are rising each month, SC might be better off producing more panel than it needs in a given month and storing the excess. Production capacity, though, cannot exceed 4000 units in any one month. The monthly production is finished at the end of the month at which time the demand is met. Any remaining panel is then stored in inventory at a cost of $1.2 per panel for each month that it remains there. If production level is increased from one month to the next, then the company incurs a cost of $0.5 per unit of increased production to cover the additional labor and/or overtime. Each unit of decreased production incurs a cost of $0.3 to cover the benefits of unused employees. The production level during the previous month was 1800 units, and the beginning inventory is 1000 units. Inventory at the end of the fourth month must be at least 1500 units to cover anticipated demand. Formulate a production plan for SC that minimizes the total costs over the next four months
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
The Production Planning of the Steel Case:
Demand (units):
Month 1: 2400
Month 2: 2200
Month 3: 2700
Month 4: 2500
Production Cost ($/unit):
Month 1: 74
Month 2: 75
Month 3: 76
Month 4: 76.5
Inventory cost ($/panel):
Month 1: 1.2
Month 2: 1.2
Month 3: 1.2
Month 4: 1.2
Starting Inventory = 1000
Ending Inventory at the end of 4th month = 1500
Starting Production Level = 1800
Cost of changing production level = $0.5/unit (increase)
= $0.3/unit (decrease)
Decision Variables:
Let Pn be the production in the month n.
[tex]I_{n}[/tex] be the inventory at the end of month n.
[tex]I_{o}[/tex] be the initial inventory at the start of month 1.
Objective Function:
The production cost is given below:
74[tex]P_{1}[/tex] + 75[tex]P_{2}[/tex] + 76[tex]P_{3}[/tex] + 76.5[tex]P_{4}[/tex]
And the holding cost is given below:
1.2( [tex]I_{1} + I_{2} + I_{3}[/tex] )
And,
Constraints:
In order to meet the demand, we have the following constraints:
[tex]P_{1}[/tex] + [tex]I_{o}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 2400
[tex]P_{2}[/tex] + [tex]I_{1}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 2200
[tex]P_{3}[/tex] + [tex]I_{2}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 2700
[tex]P_{4}[/tex] + [tex]I_{3}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 2500
Now, considering the inventory level at the end of each month:
[tex]I_{o}[/tex] = 1000
[tex]I_{1}[/tex] = [tex]P_{1}[/tex] - [tex]I_{o}[/tex] - 2400
[tex]I_{2}[/tex] = [tex]P_{2}[/tex] - [tex]I_{1}[/tex] - 2200
[tex]I_{3}[/tex] = [tex]P_{3}[/tex] - [tex]I_{2}[/tex] - 2700
[tex]I_{4}[/tex] = [tex]P_{4}[/tex] - [tex]I_{3}[/tex] - 2500
[tex]I_{4}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 1500
It is given that, at maximum 4000 units can be produced each month
So, we have the following constraints:
[tex]P_{n}[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 4000 for n = 1, 2, 3 ,4
Also,
[tex]P_{n}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 0
[tex]I_{n}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] 0
As operations manager, you are concerned about being able to meet sales requirements in the coming months. You have just been given the following production report:

Total machine hours 1,240 1,128 1,925 1,236
Average productivity 1.77 1.50 1.40 2.34
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production report:
JAN FEB MAR APR
Units produced 2,195 1,695 2,695 2,895
Hours per machine 310 188 385 309
Number of machines 4 6 5 4
Total machine hours 1,240 1,128 1,925 1,236
b) Productivity, according to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), is the ratio between the output volume and the volume of inputs. This means that productivity measures compute how efficiently production inputs are used to produce output. It can be measured with respect to labor, capital, and other production inputs or in aggregate with respect to all production inputs.
Johnson Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is established as a percentage of credit sales. For 2013, net credit sales totaled $4,900,000, and the estimated bad debt percentage is 1.90%. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $46,000 at the beginning of 2013 and $42,000, after adjusting entries, at the end of 2013.
If the company uses the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2013?
Answer:
$97,100
Explanation:
Calculation for If the company uses the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2013
Beginning Balance $46,000
Add Bad debt expense for 2013
(1.90% x $4,900,000) $93,100
Less Ending balance ($42,000)
Bad debt Expense $97,100
Therefore If the company uses the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2013 is $97,100
Return to questionItem 4 Required information Skip to question Retained earnings at the beginning of the period was $300. During the period, Kilgore Company earned revenue of $1,100 and incurred expenses of $400. Assuming dividends paid to stockholders were $200, the ending balance in retained earnings must have been:
Answer:
$800
Explanation:
The first task here is to determine the amount of net income recognized in the year which is the earned revenue minus incurred expenses as shown thus:
net income=earned revenue-incurred expenses
earned revenue= $1,100
incurred expenses=$400
net income=$1,100-$400=$700
retained earnings for the period=net income-dividends paid
dividends paid=$200
retained earnings for the period=$700-$200=$500
ending balance of retained earnings=beginning retained earnings+retained earnings for the period
beginning retained earnings=$300
ending balance of retained earnings=$300+$500=$800
